Reimagining Maternal Healthcare with Tsitsi Marote (Guardian Health)

Tsitsi Primrose Marote, co-founder of Guardian Health — a platform reimagining maternal healthcare in South Africa through AI, data, and community-driven innovation.

From academic research to award-winning innovation, Tsitsi’s journey is rooted in a deep desire to solve real challenges faced by women in public healthcare systems. In this episode, she shares how Guardian Health is transforming how clinics, hospitals, and community health workers collaborate to deliver better care—especially for pregnant women at risk.

We unpack her path from software engineer to healthtech founder, the power of building with purpose in resource-constrained environments, and the practical process of turning complex problems into scalable solutions.

Tsitsi also shares candid insights on the realities of being a young innovator in the health space, what it takes to drive adoption in the public sector, and how data can shift outcomes for millions—if built right.
